The Huanggang Port border crossing, currently undergoing a major renovation, is expected to become a key transit hub between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. While the Hong Kong government has announced plans to integrate seven franchised bus routes and six minibus routes into the facility, some stakeholders argue these plans are insufficient for the site's potential.

Tourism experts and local lawmakers have publicly advocated for the addition of a dedicated bus service connecting the checkpoint directly to Hong Kong International Airport. Proponents of this plan suggest that such a link would allow travelers to more easily transition between the mainland’s high-speed intercity rail network and international flights. By creating this connection, they argue, the city can better leverage the geographic proximity of the checkpoint to the rail network, potentially boosting regional tourism and transit efficiency.

Currently, the government's official transport strategy focuses on local bus and minibus connectivity. There has been no immediate confirmation from authorities regarding whether they will adopt the suggestion for an airport-specific route. The debate highlights a tension between the government's current infrastructure planning and the desire from some sectors to maximize the checkpoint's role as a major international transit node.
